While I appreciate the difficulty of the post in question, we cetainly shouldn't start all the nastiness over it. Someone had a geniuine issue and was looking for help in addressing it. Regardless of personal feelings, either try and offer some support or leave it alone.
Maybe the mods could have edited the post a little, though, I don't know.

I'll make one point clear - I do believe in free speech, so do not interpret my postings here as advocating censorship.
In fact, I stayed out of that whole thread, keeping my opinions to myself.

Members only forums are fine if your a full member.
The person that posted that was basic so that option wasn't open.
Katie did go back & edit the first posting to make it less graphic. Thats the best option I can see. Editing is not censoring but rephraseing so as not to lose content & not offend.
It has been said many many times. If you can't reply with out being mean & nasty then don't reply & don't get personal.
